Gives GSKA an opportunity to run at AMP, on the cheap, and without the AMP $2500 membership fee, $50 month dues and $10 each time you use the track. The winter series does not compete with the regular GSKA schedule. If GSKA members don't like their first AMP experience, they do not have to return.

As many of you know from the drivers meeting, GSKA and TS Racing are working together to race at AMP (Atlanta Motorsports Park).

What does GSKA (as a club) get from this? This just looks like a winter series you are promoting for TS Racing and AMP.

RWS
First it would be nice to know your name.
Second. This race does not compete with GSKA as we are done after November.
Third. Our big classes Clone and Yamaha JR and Sr are non existent at AMP. Their big classes are TAG SR and JR and Yamaha Sportsman.
Forth. They only race once per month
Fifth, and most importantly. We should not be short sided and look at this as "US vs Them". Lets look at this for the betterment of karting. Let's all agree that we need to grow karting in GA.

Lastly I believe Everyone wants to race in bigger fields. One of the ways to do this is to collaborate together and promote karting.

I also would like to see a 4 race series next year. 2 races at GSKA and 2 at AMP.

So how does GSKA benefit. Let's not look at which club benefits but that the karter benefits with
*More racers to race against
*Another challenging track
*Help grow the sport

Perfectly said, John! I think it's a fantastic opportunity for both clubs/tracks and GA karting in general!

I know some folks were clamoring for variety in the track at Barnesville, and I can see how folks might get tired of the same layout race after race, year after year, so having a handful of additional races at AMP (and bringing those guys down here for a few) is a great way to get a change of pace.

My daughter's birthday is the 14th, so we won't be there We definitely want to go, but it won't happen that week. If the series continues, put us down for future races for sure!

Bring her to the track and we will have a party there for her! c

Believe me, I tried that one already - the wife wasn't buying into it! Guess we'll just be playing catch-up at race #2.

And if your wife is not buying into the first race, I'm sure mine isn't going to either. Jeff and I will both see you all at the second race !_________________Larry Foust

I know that this was somewhat mentioned earlier, but the biggest concern I can see with this race would be setups. From what I could tell on their racedays or even our own, we'd get 2 to 3 practice session in the morning. That's not a lot of time for drivers to get the track's driving line down, figure out a gear, and do some chassis tuning.

For those who have been up to the circuit for testing, if they would be willing to at least give out some baseline setup info before we head up there, I think we would all be fine. It just seems like a lot of work on a raceday that shouldn't be that way without any points.
